And if necessary and she can't see it my way, I'll have to find a different tax preparer, I guess. . . .

They didn’t have to break the door thankfully but they had to break my $200 touchscreen lock and then sent me a 300+ locksmith bill as well as a 900+ junk removal bill although there were no furniture left in the unit and the junk removal people only removed left over food from the fridge and the freezer!!!

I just came back from there and really love the city, culture, people, food. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

Just be prepared for tenants that can't afford to mow the grass, or change light bulbs. 

One of the key changes includes prohibiting the disclosure of buyer's agent compensation through the MLS and requiring agents to enter into written representation agreements with buyers.These changes are set to go into effect sometime in August, and I’m curious about how other agents and investors are preparing for this shift.

The more you learn and connect, the better prepared you’ll be to achieve your goals in this market.

Just some food for thought.What market are you in?

My advice for any 1031X transaction is to be over prepared.
